Make your own caramel sauce

Every now and then, I get a tremendous craving for caramel. It’s so rare that I never have any around when I want it, so when it happened a few days ago, I decided to look up some recipes online – surely it couldn’t be that hard to make.

Sure enough, one recipe says you just boil condensed milk in its tin until it turns to caramel. This might be less sweet than some people would like, but condensed milk does have sugar and cream components built in.

No matter which recipe you use, the trick is to keep adding water now and again to keep the sauce from getting too thick. And you can add flavors like vanilla, cinnamon, or various berries to liven it up.
